#im a digital artist so putting non-digital art here is NOT a dig. sometimes you need physical things to feel sane

yesss construction. Making Object. customizing one's space. it's true that's the good stuff

LITERALLY!

making phyiscal objects, whatever they may be (jewelry, carvings, furniture, non-digital art, etc) is so good for relaxing, exercising the mind, generally just feeling like a person and stuff. i think everyone should look into getting a hobby like that, i know it can be daunting and sometimes expensive but there are absolutely ways to create things without spending a lot of money (personally i love finding trash little nicknacks to play around with)

i took a woodworking class last year and school, and i know that kind of thing certainly isn't available to just anyone, but learning a craft really, really can be for anyone. woodworking and construction, metalworking, etc, is some of the simplest and oldest forms of self expression and creation and does NOT have the same gateway requirements people feel it does. pick up a stick and a knife and go ham, if that's what works for you
